Paul Knoepflmacher, MD

Paul Knoepflmacher, MD is one of the best physicians that I have ever been too. He is exceptional clinically and has the kindest, most caring demeanor. He evaluates the total patient; he takes the time to find out about your life and how it may be affecting your health. He is incredibly thorough when examining you and is always available via phone or email.
They do not make physicians like this anymore and I feel so fortunate to have found him.
Additionally, his office staff is friendly, efficient and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Knoepflmacher and his practice to anyone needing an outstanding PCP.

Dr K is one of a rare breed. A primary care doctor who takes the time, listens, and genuinely cares about you.
Highest recommendation.

Dr Knoeflmacher is the best PCP I have ever had.
Staff is great, too.

Dr. Knoepflmacher has been my primary care doc since 2007. He is the absolute best doctor!!! He always takes the time to listen to what I have to say, always answers my questions and his office staff is the greatest. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent primary care doc.

Dr. Knoepflmacher and his partner in practice, Dr. Amsterdam, have been primary care docs for my wife and I for four years, and through our enthusiastic recommendations, they’re now the docs for another ~10 people I carpool with, all of whom rave about how great they are. They match the best of new and old world: new technology (eg taking notes during office visits on their tablets, a digital patient portal that allows you to communicate with the docs between appointments), old-​school time and attention spent to really get to know their patients (vs. the typical 5 min rushed office visit). They are both highly personable, making you feel that they’re really invested in your total health. I hope we have the pleasure of working with them for many years to come!

I called to make an appointment and the receptionist refused to make it.

Dr. Knoepflmacher has been my internist for over 5 years, and he is wonderful. I rarely have to wait for my appointment. The front desk staff are friendly and efficient. The nurse who takes my blood samples is gentle and kind. I also like the fact that he is affiliated with Mt. Sinai. He has given wonderful referrals for specialists when I have needed them. But the part I appreciate most is that Dr. K takes the time to meet with me and to answer my questions. I don’t feel rushed; I feel respected and in the best possible care.

Dr Knoepflmacher is the best general Md that I have found in the city. He always takes time with his patients and is up to date on the most effective and new treatments. I use him as a GP but he has been always open to alternative medicine and even suggested an acupuncturist to me!
He is the kind of old school, compassionate Md that everyone should have in NY. My only complaint is that he is becoming so popular that it is hard to get an appointment! Definitely someone you want on your health care team.

I just started seeing Dr. Knoepflmacher because my friend recommend him and I didn’t have a primary care Dr. in NYC. I made an appointment and they were able to fit me in after about 3 weeks (but my schedule was kind of crazy so that was partly my fault). When I arrived at the office I realized I had forgotten my insurance card at home :-(They were iffy to see me, but after about 20 minutes the receptionist was able to look up my information online and get me seen. I had to wait a while, as they were very busy, but it was okay.
When they first brought me to the back they showed me into the Doctors actual office. I sat down and waited for Paul, MD to come in. He arrived after a few minutes and we had a 10 minute conversation about my family, medical history, any problems, and then my present and future concerns. He was really friendly and his demeanor was just very welcoming and put me at ease.
After we chatted he called a nurse in and then she brought me to an exam room. I changed into my gown and then she took my vitals. She was super nice and friendly and we had a nice little conversation while she was doing everything. BEST PART: when she took my blood I didn’t feel ANYTHING at all. She was the best blood-​taker I have ever had!
After a few more minutes Dr. Paul came in and examined me. He just did the usual and everything was normal. He said he would contact me by phone or email in the next few weeks with my blood results. It was about 4 days and I had an email from the Doctor with my results.
Everything turned out perfect and I will definitely be returning to this doctor, and recommending him to anyone in need.
